A playlist is a set of preselected tracks. Jajuk uses <i>
m3u</i>
 format to read and write playlist files. Note that files in playlists can be located outside any Jajuk device. In this case, Jajuk can read them but some limitations apply to them. For instance, they are not added in the history bar.There are two type of playlist:</p>
<ul>
<li>
physical playlists, see <a href="view_physical_playlists.html">
view physical playlists</a>
</li>
<li>
logical playlists, see <a href="view_logical_playlists.html">
view logical playlists</a>
</li>
</ul>

<h2>
Playing, saving a playlist</h2>
<p>
To launch a playlist, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Select a playlist by left clicking on it. Then, you can launch any playlist by clicking on it.</li>
<li>
Right-click on a playlist and click on <i>
play</i>
 menu option.</li>
</ul>
<p>
To save a playlist:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Right-click on a playlist and select <i>
save</i>
 or <i>
save as</i>
 in the popup menu.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
Regular playlists</h2>
<p>
When refreshing a device, Jajuk will find all m3u files that will be displayed in the playlist repository view. Note that if you are in physical perspective, a same playlist file duplicated in different devices will be displayed several times. In Logical perspective, you will not see playlists files but logical playlists. So, only one logical playlist will be displayed and will map several physical playlists files. If you modify one logical playlist, modification will be propagated to every mapped physical playlist files (a warning message will be displayed).</p>
